Thank You

We thank the kindness and generosity of our donors who have helped to make this possible, as well as the student volunteers who offer their time and expertise to make these teachings and this website available.

In the past, we have not received enough donations in response to the podcasts even to cover our costs of making them freely available. So please give generously to provide us with the funds to post podcasts online, to support aspiring yogis, and for the other service provided by the Santa Barbara Institute.
